DIRECTIVE ARTIFICIAL MAGNETIC CONDUCTOR (AMC) DIELECTRIC WEDGE WAVEGUIDE ANTENNA

摘要

An antenna is provided from a dielectric wedge waveguide having an AMC wall feed structure 15 coupled thereto through a transition which matches the impedance of the AMC feed structure to dielectric wedge so as to ensure efficient transmission of RF signals between the AMC wall feed structure and the dielectric wedge. In some embodiments, the antenna may be implemented as a flush mounted or conformal antenna on an outer surface of a supporting platform.
